Typical suburban area(visited the area)

A town based in Surrey on the border of greater London, Molesey is a typical suburban area home to many professional people commuting into central London. Bordered by Walton-on-Thames, Sunbury-on-Thames, Kingston-upon-Thames and Hampton, Molesey is split into East and West Molesey. It doesn't have a train or tube station but does have buses running to nearby Kingston and Richmond which have tube and train stations accessing central London. A great area for families, Molesey plays host to a cricket club, boat club and football club and has a number of interesting landmarks including several large reservoirs, a 15th-century pub called The Crooked Bell, Molesey Lock, The Molesey Stone (which divides East and West Molesey), a public library and public parks and greens with children's playgrounds. Molesey has a couple of local schools and has history as a sporting town, as it used to be the bare-knuckle boxing centre of England and home to a famous horse racing track.
